Hearing Dogs for Deaf People is a national charity which trains hearing dogs to alert deaf people to important sounds and danger signals in the home, work place and in public buildings that they would otherwise miss.
They train hearing dogs to alert deaf children and adults to important sounds and danger signals such as the alarm clock, door bell, telephone, a baby’s cry and the smoke alarm.
Hearing dogs are easily recognisable by their distinctive burgundy jacket and lead slips, which help to signal the recipients otherwise invisible disability, bringing increased peace of mind for the deaf person.
Deafness can be an incredibly isolating and lonely disability, and a hearing dog provides life-changing independence, increased confidence, companionship and a feeling of security.
There will also be Hearing Dog demonstrations during the day in the Family Fun Dog Show Arena so you see just how clever they are.
All proceeds from this area go directly to Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.
BoA FF does not charge or take money from Hearing Dogs for Deaf People for the Dog Show.

There’s a new breed of Macaroni & Cheese on the street food scene.
Our time working in the Alps showed us that there is no thing as too much cheese because of this we use a 4 cheese blend to make our grilled macaroni & cheese. The only thing that tastes better than macaroni cheese is GRILLED macaroni cheese.
Proud to be voted best street food in Bristol by Bristol24/7.
At Alp-Mac we believe in taking responsibility for the environment so we use compostable containers and cutlery. Please be sure to dispose of your container into food waste/recycling bins to help the cause.

Julia’s House provides outstanding, award-winning care for babies, children and young people with life-shortening and life-threatening conditions and support for their families. Our nurses and carers are in the community, in our hospices and in homes across Dorset and Wiltshire providing frequent, regular short breaks for mums and dads and social opportunities for the whole family.
Our care is free of charge to families and available 365 days a year. Unlike most other hospices, we give families regular, frequent and flexible care week in week out. We want every member of the family to feel positive and supported – to get the most of their time together.
Receiving hospice care does not mean that a child’s death is imminent. Children may use out service for a short time until their condition improves or they may be with us for many, many years. Whether lives are short or long we are here to make every moment count.
Regular breaks provide a lifeline to parents under extraordinary pressure. They allow mums and dads to have time to spend with each other, with their other children or simply a chance to catch up with some day-to-day tasks like shopping, cleaning or sleeping safe in the knowledge their child is being looked after by people they know and trust.
Julia’s House is there for the whole journey, supporting families right from the birth of their child and diagnosis through to when a teenager moves into adult care. Many of the families we help will be with us for years, part of our Julia’s House ‘family’.
And we are there if the worst happens, helping families access the very best end-of-life care, whether that’s in the hospital, in our hospices or at home among friends and comforting familiar surroundings. Our support doesn’t end with the death of a child either; we give parents £1000 towards the cost of funeral expenses and continue to be there for the whole family for up to three years to help them through their bereavement.

Award Winning Beer – Bottle GOLD at SIBA South West Independent Beer Awards 2017. This is the brewers and our favourite choice (although all our beers are delicious!).

Iford cider is hand-crafted in small batches and left to ferment long though the winter using nothing but the wild yeasts which exist naturally on the apples. Iford does not add factory-grown cultures, or use artificial sweeteners, aromas or flavourings.

Winner of 2018 Taste Awards, and Signature Botanical Winner at Craft Distilling Expo 2016. Sly’s Lemon Verbena London Dry gin is a signature botanical gin that remains true to its London Dry style. Tastes of soft juniper but quickly followed by the delicate herbal complexity of lemon verbena combined with the citrusy notes of coriander seed and sweet orange peel. Garnished with orange, thyme, ice and Fever Tree Tonic.
This lovely gin comes from Haven distillery, a true artisan small-batch distillery nestled in the heart of the Herefordshire countryside, where husband and wife team, Duncan and Alex grow many of the botanicals used in their gins.
Food pairing: Devine with light chicken dishes.
Made with IWSC Gold Award winning Cotswold London Dry Gin. This is an aromatic gin made with carefully considered botanicals and Cotswold Lavender, served with Fever Tree Tonic, pink grapefruit and a bay leaf.
The desire to reflect the natural beauty of North Cotswolds and honour its heritage runs through everything the chaps at the Cotswold Distillery do – they use local raw materials, traditional kit and techniques and partner up with other independent producers in the area as much as possible.
Pairing suggestion: This would stand up well against any full flavour pork dish.
Served with a Bombay Sapphire, lemon, ice and Fever Tree Tonic.
Many people do not realise that the Bombay Sapphire Distillery is in Laverstoke, UK. Perhaps because its master of botanicals travels the world in search of the finest of its 10 key botanicals. It uses a vapour infusion process to create its unique aromas and taste and it still uses the Carterhead stills Tom and Mary which date back to the 1830s.
Food pairing: Just the ticket with some salty snacks.
